Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen blanket and at -15° to -10° C., 1.0 g (25.0 mmol) of sodium hydroxide in 20 ml of water was dripped over a period of 4 hours into a solution of 5.7 g (22.6 mmol) of methyl 5-piperidinocarbonyl-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate in 20 ml of methanol, and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. The solution was evaporated down, the residue was taken up in 100 ml of water, the pH was adjusted to 8-9, and the mixture was extracted once with 100 ml of diethyl ether. The mixture was acidified to a pH of 2 with 6N HCl, and extracted four times, each time with 100 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic phases dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was stripped off under reduced pressure. Yield: 91%; mp.: 128°-130° C.
